As I understand it, the way to link a existing Blender scene in your Blender video project, is to drag the .blend file onto the timeline, choose “Link”, then in the popup, click into the Scenes folder and double click the “Scene” file. Then, click Add, Strip, Scene, and choose one of the linked scenes.

Trouble is, I’ve done this a few time as I’ve updated my scenes, and whenever I add a “Scene” strip, I have to choose from multiple Scene objects all named “Scene” and I have to guess which one is which.

Some I don’t need anymore. Others I would like to rename so I know what they are. How can I do this?

Thanks for the reply! I thought of that but I can’t see where to rename the scene, even in the original file that I’m linking to. Searching the net for “blender rename scene” still doesn’t turn up any info on how to rename a scene.

I would imagine in the outliner the “scene” would be the top node and I would just rename it there, but the top node is called a “Scene Collection” and has no option to rename it.

But before I mark the solution; Is there any way to rename the existing scene selection (shown in my first screenshot) or do I have to re-link them all and change the source scene of my existing scene strips?

If I must re-link them, then how do I get rid of the old entries so they don’t add to the clutter? (I still have Scene, Scene, Scene, etc. in the list as in the first screenshot)
